5.0 out of 5 stars Big sound in a small package!!
I'm going to preface this by saying, keep in mind this is a TWO-SPEAKER setup with NO subwoofer...I just want to be perfectly clear on that before diving into this review.This was a bit of a vanity purchase, as I wanted some white speakers to go with my new all-white PC setup and didn't want to drop studio monitor money or anything just to look spiffy on the desk. This one seemed like a good middle ground, as most of the cheaper options were USB powered and that was not going to cut it in this area. These have some neat features like bluetooth built in and RGB lights which can have the color changed, do a few different lighting modes, or even be shut off entirely if that's not your thing. There is also a port on the back for a sub-out, meaning you can slave a powered subwoofer to these and get a 2.1 setup if you so desire. I have not tried this yet.I don't want to give a glowing, "Stepford Wives" review on these, because sound quality can be subjective and even changes with the context of what you have been listening to prior. Since I don't have pro sound-testing equipment this is going to be a bit on the unscientific side, but I've heard some great speaker and headphone setups in the past so I think I've at least got some "cultured" ears.Considering the size, these offer a very sizeable amount of volume. Being wall-powered, that didn't come as a surprise. 32w going into drivers these size is going to render a good amount of volume. So if you want something you can hear over the noise of a shower, the sink as you're shaving, or even a vacuum cleaner or whatever, these will cut through just fine. I use these in my bedroom so I like having music or youtube videos going as I get ready in the morning. On that front, these are great! The amount of bass is VERY surprising, but the drivers are pretty heavy for speakers this size and they feel quite solid. It's not a huge surprise that so much is included, but one of the jerry-rigged tests I do for bass is seeing how loud they are *in the other room*, as high-end frequencies get choked out by walls/doors pretty easily and bass usually cuts right through. These cut through the walls pretty well, which tells me the bass on these is pretty strong in the mix. Take it with a grain of salt, but for their size the bass is well there. If that's still not enough, they do have a sub-out so you can hook up a powered sub if you so desire.On the actual sound QUALITY, I'm not going to stretch the truth here...my Logitech and Creative 2.1 sets do outperform these. The ones in the $60-100 range (sometimes less if they were refurbs). But lets put this in context...we're comparing a 2.0 speaker set with a 2.1 set that is tuned to split frequencies between a subwoofer and others. Anyone in music/audio knows that's a pretty sizeable gap to close. Just taking the stress of bass or very low mid reproduction off the smaller speakers is an immense advantage when it comes to clarity. I do have to hand it to these though, considering the task they do a pretty good job. As far as accuracy goes, I couldn't speak to that, but these do come off as muddier than the old Creative 2.1 set and my HyperX Cloud headphones...again, keep in mind we're talking a 2.0 set and many others don't even come close to these.On a side note, the option to use an external subwoofer has not been used by me yet. I am unsure if this does anything for clarity (like if a high-pass filter is kicked in for the speakers, reducing the amount of bass/low mids they have to produce), but will update the review when I get a chance to try. I would be highly impressed if that were the case, I look forward to confirming someday.I gave these 4 stars on sound and bass, and 3 on the volume control since they are just buttons instead of a volume knob like most and that is a little annoying. Sure you can control volume on your computer, but it would be nice for use on things like bluetooth or what have you. I also like the RGB lights, personally, but your mileage may vary. I think I'd have a much easier time suggesting these if they were a LITTLE cheaper ($75 would seem super reasonable), but at about $95 this is a little steep, even for a 2.0 set like this. Studio monitors are built for flat audio response in nearly all cases, which takes more R&A than just making something that sounds good. Not saying it's zero work, just not as much tuning as the flat-response ones have to take on. Still a good pair of speakers that look great as well, worth checking out!
5.0 out of 5 stars Astounding Sound for the Size & Price
SMOL BOIS! Holy wow, these are not very large. How do they compare to their larger siblings, and do they veer too far into "Gamer" territory forgoing decent sound quality?TL;DR - Holy gads. These are amazeballs if Small = Life. A bit lacking in bass compared to the R1280T's, but a very similar sound signature with some decent volume make these a great choice if you're in the market for small computer speakers.Packaging, Features, & Build - Graphics on a cardboard box, speakers wrapped inside in plastic bags with molded plastic inserts to keep them secure during shipping.Speakers are permanently linked together by a single cable. They feature a 3.5mm In, a 3.5mm Sub Out, and a USB Input. The have a rear-facing bass reflex port, a full-range paper cone driver with rubber surround, and RGB LEDs with diffusers in each speaker. The cabinets feel pretty well built for a product of this size and price.Sound - I tried these in my livingroom, paired to an Emotiva XDA2. What was immediately apparent was a lack of bass compared with their larger siblings, the R1280T's. However, their sound signature is very similar. Like, they're voiced so similarly it was noticeable. Like, I expect speakers to sound different, but these were very very close. They successfully filled my moderately sized living room with sound. I didn't take them into distortion levels of loudness, but they got plenty loud for common media even in my living room.I later tried them on my desk via USB. A bit more bass on tap here, image better as well in the smaller space. Again, sounds great. Gets incredibly loud on a desk, even via USB.Conclusions - The RGB's add a relatively cool looking accent to cabinets that already don't look like every other speaker available. However, the cabinets still look enough like speakers to be recognizable as speakers, unlike some Logitech computer speakers.I wasn't expecting much, but I came away pretty honestly shocked about the sound quality, build quality, and connectivity options available for such a modest price point. They're really dang good, and offer the ability to add a subwoofer for a cheap/small 2.1 setup on a desk later. Heck, the built-in electronics aren't even bad. What more can you ask for?Disclaimer - My ears aren't a universal measurement rig, perception of sound quality is subjective. No one has paid for, or otherwise attempted to influence the content of this review.
Excelente compra
The media could not be loaded. Haciendo pruebas de sonido, se puede apreciar que suena bastante bien, son ligeros y ame el color.Son asequibles y bastante recomendables.
Oh how I love these
I wanted a small pair of speakers for my white PC setup. I have another edifier speaker and I'm very happy with it. These have great sound and bass, multiple modes like bluetooth, aux, and usb. The RGB lights add a nice touch. The price for these also isn't bad at all. One of my favorite things is that they don't take up much space and depending on what mode you use to connect the speakers, you could only have one cable coming out of them.
Great Speakers
Work very well. Great quality
Buen sonido
Me ha encantado totalmente esta compra, las bocinas son igual a la imagen, se puede conectar por diversas entradas y directamente a pc, también cuenta con Bluetooth. Buen sonido, recomiendo totalmente la compra 😁
Just a terrific set of Speakers.
The media could not be loaded. TL:DR - These speakers are perfect for your computer setup and even small party usage.I come from a Subwoofer/2 speaker setup, which just blew out. These speakers provide that thick bass that I look for and have great dual channel audio. I personally use AUX to save my computer USB ports, and it works perfectly.I sometimes have small gatherings in my room, and these speakers are low profile, aesthetically pleasing with their colour options, and just provide quality sound. A great purchase on all fronts.
